Funfetti Cheesecake Sugar Cookie Bars - sweet and delicious bars with funfetti cheesecake filling and sugar cookie crust and topping! Your new favorite bar dessert!

Funfetti Cheesecake Sugar Cookie Bars from crunchycreamysweet.com

Sweet friends, I would like thank you for all the comments on my coffee cake post! Our daughter was AMAZING! The dance recital went absolutely perfect! I will be sharing more about it and some photos in a separate post soon.

Let's talk about these bars. Sweet and creamy cheesecake filling with sugar cookie crust and topping - my new version of my favorite sugar cookie recipe. Funfetti sprinkles are optional bu recommended. They make these bars perfect for a birthday party or any celebration or just to brighten up your day!

Sugar Cookie Bars

I am so obsessed with this cookie dough. It's so easy to make and bakes up perfectly. I just had to make into a bar. And what better bar than a cheesecake bar? Being a huge fan of cheesecake desserts, I was really looking forward to these bars. They came out perfectly! The filling is super creamy  and the sugar cookie crust and topping is soft and melt-in-your-mouth delicious!

I used this sugar cookie dough recipe. I pressed about ¾ of the dough into the bottom of a 8" square pan. Then mix up the cheesecake filling (it is important not to over beat once the egg is added! ) and pour over the crust. Sprinkle with funfetti. Crumble the remaining cookie dough in your hands and place over the filling. Sprinkle even more funfetti if desired.

These bars are thick and if you do not overbake them, the center pieces are ooey gooey! So so good! You can try to bake them in a 13" x 9" pan (adjusting the baking time accordingly) but they will be half the height.

    Just to be clear, the reference to 'funfetti' is simply sprinkles, correct?

        I made these last week, easy recipe, and everyone liked them! I ended up not having a 8x8 pan, and made them in a 9x9 pan. I probably could have made the base a little thinner, and had a little extra to cover the top better. I also forgot the layer of sprinkles on top of the cream cheese mix before putting the crumbled sugar cookie dough on top, so extra sprinkles on the very top and it turned out perfect! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
